Organic Reaction Mechanisms 2000

Presents and surveys research described in literature between December 1999 and November 2000. As in previous volumes new mechanisms for the synthesis of all types of organic compounds will be included as well as such mechanisms as addition and elimination reactions, nucleophilic and electrophilic aromatic substitutions and molecular arrangements.

This annual series on organic reaction mechanisms reasearch provides concise and comprehensive coverage of the years literature as well as discussions on important results. Each volume is extensively referenced to previous volumes and primary journals. 1. Reactions of Aldehydes and Ketones and their Derivatives by B. A. Murray.
